  2. Review! • Direct Objects- The receiver of action within a sentence • Answers the questions “What?” or “Whom?” • EX: “He hit the ball.” • Indirect Objects- identifies to or for whom or what the action of the verb is performed(“to whom?” “to what?”) • EX: “He hit the ball to Sarah.”

  5. Subjects ,Objects, Verbs, and Complements • Subject - performs the action • Object – receives the action • Verbs – Show action • Complements - any word or phrase that completes the sense of a subject , an object, or a verb. • The most basic unit of speech: Subject + Verb OR Subject + Verb + Complement

  6. Predicates • Predicate: the completer of a sentence. The subject names the "do-er" or "be-er" of the sentence; the predicate does the rest of the work. A simple predicate consists of only a verb, verb string, or compound verb: • The glacier melted. The glacier has been melting. • The glacier melted, broke apart, and slipped into the sea. • Predicate adjective: follows a linking verb and tells us something about the subject: • Thomas is athletic. • Predicate nominative: follows a linking verb and tells us what the subject is: • She used to be the president of the committee. • Dr. Smith is acting as de facto leader of the study group.

  8. Classifying Sentences • Declarative - A declarative sentence makes a statement. A declarative sentence ends with a period. Example: The house will be built on a hill. • Interrogative - An interrogative sentence asks a question. An interrogative sentence ends with a question mark. Example: How did you find the card? • Exclamatory - An exclamatory sentence shows strong feeling. An exclamatory sentence ends with an exclamation mark. Example: The monster is attacking! • Imperative - An imperative sentence gives a command. Example: Cheryl, try the other door. Sometimes the subject of an imperative sentence (you) is understood. Example: Look in the closet. (You, look in the closet.)

  9. Identify the following sentence types: • Will you pass the salt and pepper? • Sit down! • I love New York in the fall. • Give me a break. • Daniel doesn’t like ice cream. • Do you think Claire is pretty?

  10. Complete Sentences vs. Sentence Fragments • Complete sentences include at least a subject and a verb and express a complete thought. • Sentence fragments do not contain both a subject and a verb and do not contain complete thoughts. Complete? Or Fragment? Son of a nutcracker! I stubbed my toe on that stupid door! Ouch. I really hurt myself. Should’ve watched where I was going. That stupid door. I may need surgery on my toe. Thanks a lot door. You’ve ruined my day.
